Chapter Twenty-Nine: Lust and Fruit

Kyoto Castle in the midst of a night of horror. Early the next morning, the Lantern Festival assassination incident spread in the streets and alleys for a while. This kind of thing must be indispensable to add fuel and vinegar, and even rumors that the two countries are about to go to war soon.

For this incident, the various departments of the imperial court have already locked their eyes on the domain with mixed foreign personnel, after all, the assassins are all from the Northern Guardians, and the suspicion here is the greatest.

As the leader of the domain, Pan Lao was anxious and did not know anything about the outcome of the night of the operation. The men who participated in the capture have only now returned, and are listening to his report on last night's situation.

I saw a black-robed warrior half-kneeling on the ground and replied respectfully: "Lord, according to Luo Xiaotian's plan last night, we have already captured the assassin. On the way back, Lu met Commander Li and led the officers and soldiers to surround us, and we were arrested as anti-thieves. ”

"Hmm...... I know that. After the fire was extinguished, Li Wenyi led people back to the way to defend and support the inner city, and met you by mistake. Pan Lao paused and continued: "But later, what happened to you? ”

All subordinates involved in the operation will return. Pan Lao was puzzled as to how they later escaped from Li Wenyi.

The subordinate replied: "Just as Commander Li was about to take us away, someone suddenly threw out a lot of ecstasy at the head of the city. The subordinates thought that their own people were coming, but when they woke up, they found themselves in a strange and dilapidated house. ”

"I didn't have time to send someone to rescue you, but I thought you were being taken into the dungeon. Except for Luo Xiaotian, is there anyone else who knows about this operation? Is this young man a little secret? Pan Lao paced back and forth and thought about it.

At this time, a subordinate with a panicked expression suddenly came in at the door, and said urgently: "Lord, the people from the official mansion are here, and they are searching everywhere above!" ”

Pan Lao is accustomed to government searches, and his subordinates have not left any evidence, so there is no need to worry. But the accident of last night's action was incomprehensible, and his expression was solemn.

……

Outside the underground palace, dark clouds were thick over Kyoto Castle at this time, and a huge lightning bolt fell, and thunder rumbled and swept down.

Soon, a heavy rain poured like a curtain, and the rain curtain enveloped the entire Hou Mansion.

Rainwater dripped down the eaves and became a beaded curtain. Looking at the heavy rain outside the house, Luo Xiaotian, who was standing by the windowsill, was uneasy.

At this time, Qianji walked up behind him and said, "You did your best. ”

"Uncle, I hurt her, I thought I could help her get rid of her demons." He felt guilty.

"Why?" Qianji asked.

"Maybe it's fearless."

"Pretend to be stupid." Qianji sneered.

"That's because I'm already vegetarian." Luo Xiaotian looked in the direction of the palace and said.

"Someone is coming......"

After speaking, Qianji jumped and disappeared into the rain. Luo Xiaotian glanced back at him puzzled, and when he turned back again, at the gate of the Hou Mansion, a carriage had stopped in the heavy rain.

Later, a man got out of the car. Looking at the figure, Luo Xiaotian recognized it as Li Wenyi at a glance.

Li Wenyi ran into the gate in the rain, ran to the door of the main hall and stood and shouted, "Brother Luo is here?" Li has something to ask for! ”

When the servant saw someone visiting, he hurriedly greeted him and asked, "I wonder what the son is looking for my young master?" I'll go and report first. ”

Without waiting for Li Wenyi to explain his intention to him, Luo Xiaotian upstairs shouted down: "Please come up!" ”

Soon, the domestic servant brought Li Wenyi to him.

"Commander Lee!" Seeing him approaching, Luo Xiaotian beckoned.

"Oh, Brother Luo, what happened last night ......," Li Wenyi said eagerly as soon as they met. Just halfway through his words, he quickly and cautiously glanced back behind him to confirm whether there was anyone there. Then he continued: "Brother, can you go into the room?" ”

Seeing that he was mysterious, Luo Xiaotian invited him into the room and sat down. I made a pot of tea, poured out a cup of tea, and brought it to him.

He picked up the teacup, took a sip lightly, and hurriedly said with a frown: "Brother, what happened last night, Li did exactly what you ordered. The thief was caught, but before the military exploits were hot, the thief was quietly robbed by someone unsuspectingly. I was stunned, and then I didn't know what happened, and I woke up and it was dawn. ”

Seeing Li Wenyi's annoyed look when he spoke, Luo Xiaotian was clear in his heart.

Last night, when he left. The black-robed warriors bound the enchanted Assassins hand and foot and prepared to bring them back. But he didn't go far according to the planned route, and he was surrounded and arrested by Li Wenyi, who had already been ambushed.

Li Wenyi was excited, feeling that he had made a great contribution and was about to take these thieves away. At this time, a lot of green smoke suddenly fell from the high wall, and everyone had no time to dodge, and after a panic, all the people below had fallen unconscious.

And these people who set up ambush for them were exactly what Luo Xiaotian had ordered Shen Kun to arrange—the gambling house guys who had dressed up in disguise. They then transported the stunned black-robed warriors and Assassins in wagons and dropped them down at two hidden locations. Only Li Wenyi and his entourage were left, and they lay on the street until dawn before waking up.

Luo Xiaotian, who knew the reason, smiled secretly in his heart, but said helplessly: "Commander Li, I tell you a thousand times, you must be cautious and be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years!" The military exploits at your fingertips are so gone, and I feel sorry for you. ”

Then he asked, "But by the way, how did you find my place?" ”

"I'll go to the palace early in the morning to look for you, my cousin told me. She also seemed to be frightened by the bloodshed last night, and she was a little sick, and I came over when I asked where you lived. Li Wenyi said.

As soon as he heard that Zhao Susu was frightened, Luo Xiaotian was anxious and hurriedly asked, "Is she slightly ill?" Is it a big deal? ”

"Girl's family, it's natural to be scared when you see those fights and killings." After speaking, Li Wenyi took a sip of tea and asked eagerly, "Leave her alone." Brother, in fact, I still have something to ask for, and I want you to think of a way for me. ”

"Commander Li said that it depends on whether he is doing what he can do."

Li Wenyi glanced at the door, lowered his voice mysteriously and said, "Brother, it's okay if the anti-thief who catches it misses, just treat Li as if he has nothing to do with this military exploit." Now here's the problem: the carriage I stopped last night was accidentally lit by a soldier. The fire was so big that it set the surrounding shops on fire. In the end, he even ignited a powder magazine hidden in Kyoto, and a loud noise that shook the world shocked the imperial court. ”

"Then hand it over to the imperial court, and this matter is not caused by you."

Li Wenyi then said: "Brother, you are a smart person, why can't you see the inextricable relationship?" ”

Luo Xiaotian was not interested in these things, so he didn't answer, and drank tea by himself.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Li Wenyi became anxious: "Brother, if I guess correctly, in this Kyoto city, I'm afraid there is a case that is more serious than the assassin case." ”

It's not about you, hang on high – that's what people often call not being nosy. Luo Xiaotian really wasn't interested in these things at all, so he could only smile perfunctorily at Li Wenyi.

Li Wenyi continued: "This powder magazine must have something to do with the important ministers of the imperial court. The imperial court is going to focus on investigating this matter, but you can help me plan, which side should I stand on? ”

"Commander Li, there's really nothing I can do about this. It's almost raining outside, and I still have something to do, or we'll talk about it another day. Luo Xiaotian was a little impatient at this time, with a ball of cotton wool in his heart, and he was not in the mood to listen to his chatter at all. And when he heard that Zhao Susu was in poor health, he wanted to go over and see her quickly.

Anyone can tell that this is a euphemistic "eviction order". But Li Wenyi was different, but drank a few more pots of tea, and left happily after saying all the things in his heart.

After bidding farewell to him, Luo Xiaotian began to think about how to rescue Chen An'an. After thinking about it, I didn't know anyone who was born in Kyoto City, and I didn't know any dignitaries.

The people around him who can help, except for Shen Kun, can't think of a second one.

It is impossible for the king of Bei'an, he was the first to stand up and arrest Chen An'an last night; Pan Lao only has some power in the dark, otherwise he would not hide in the dark and damp underground; Li Wenyi, who had just left, couldn't help himself, he was now in prison and involved in the open and secret battles in the court.

Master-Luo Xiaotian secretly shouted in his heart. It occurred to him that maybe Master could help him.

At this time, a servant knocked on the door: "Young Master Xiaotian, there is a visitor." ”

"Just say I slept!" Luo Xiaotian, whose thoughts were interrupted, said impatiently and angrily.

"It's a plain girl."

Hearing the answer, Luo Xiaotian rose up like a spring, his forehead hit the bedpost with a "bang", and he squeezed his eyebrows and made a "hiss". But he didn't care about the pain, and quickly opened the door and ran downstairs.

Got downstairs. As soon as the two met, he pulled Zhao Susu and ran into his room. provoked the maidservant who saw this situation, and snickered shyly.

When the two arrived upstairs, Luo Xiaotian hurriedly asked, "It's raining, why are you here?" ”

Zhao Susu saw that there was a bruise on his forehead, and asked with pity, "What's wrong with your forehead?" Was it hurt last night? ”

"No...... It was so happy to see you coming, so happy that I hit the bedpost. Ha ha! Luo Xiaotian said with a smile.

"Why are you so reckless, can I make you so happy when I'm here?" Zhao Susu asked with a chuckle while touching the bruise on his forehead.

Luo Xiaotian took her hand on his forehead and looked at her affectionately: "I heard that you are slightly ill, but is it true?" Is it better? ”

"It's okay, it's just that it was windy last night, and I was infected with some wind cold." Zhao Susu said.

When Luo Xiaotian heard this, he had a flash of inspiration: "You wait for me, I'll help you get some of my exclusive secret recipes." ”

Before Zhao Susu could stop it, he opened the door and went out. I ran all the way to the courtyard, and pulled the flower beds in the garden in the rain.

Zhao Susu walked to the windowsill and saw that he was drenched in the rain, so he hurriedly shouted: "Xiaotian—come in!" ”

After a long time, Luo Xiaotian came in with a bowl of steaming thick soup and placed it on the table in front of Zhao Susu, blowing the hot air coming out of the bowl.

Zhao Susu coughed a few times because of this soup, and asked, "What is this?" It's so spicy......"

Luo Xiaotian replied: "This is called ginger soup, which is only available in my yard, and it can keep warm from the cold." ”

Then he brought the ginger soup to her mouth: "Take a sip and add honey, it won't be too spicy." ”

It turned out that in this yard, he ordered people to plant many strange flowers and fruits. To others, it's weird, because I don't know what these things are for.

After drinking this "ginger soup", Zhao Susu's whole body instantly warmed up. A few fine beads oozed from his forehead, and he was drenched in sweat. Luo Xiaotian wiped her forehead lightly and couldn't help kissing it.

She looked up shyly and glanced at him. His lips were moist, his eyelashes were closed, and his eyes were closed. Quietly waiting for the moisture of the rain like a bud.

Hugging her tightly, he lowered his head, his lips like honey, and met hers.

Between the lips and teeth, a green veil fell, and a beautiful body loomed in the haze.

The breeze is gentle, and the curtains are entangled and dancing lightly. Time seems to have stopped, and outside the window—the rain has fallen silent, and a flower is blooming red......
